Proper speech is a habit which is developed through accurate and consistent practice. When students can see what they need to do to make a sound correctly and can monitor whether they said it correctly or not, they can spend their time practicing it and developing those habits, not guessing how to say it or whether they said it right. Our technologies allow students to practice accurately with their clinician, then take the technology home and practice without losing any accuracy. CompleteSpeech has the only tools that allow students to practice perfectly at home in a measurable way.
Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based assessment and training tool that measures & improves Neurotiming, or the synchronization of neural impulses within key brain networks for cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor performance. As the individual activates a trigger in time with a steady auditory beat, IM technology provides real-time auditory and visual feedback for millisecond timing. Knowing whether he is hitting before, after, or exactly in sync with the beat to the millisecond allows the individual to make immediate, online corrections to improve timing & rhythm over the course of training.
The SmartPalate does what no other tool can. This bio-feedback technology creates a digital visualization of how your tongue functions during speech. Gain a clear understanding of what changes need to be made to build and perfect lasting speech habits.
Just as the ADA and Procter & Gamble made daily tooth brushing the norm with their “Look Mom, no cavities” campaign in the 1950s; just as the federal government declared war on smoking in 1973 and drastically diminished smokers’ ranks; just as Mothers Against Drunk Driving made “One for the Road” taboo; just as the Komen Foundation made the pink ribbon ubiquitous and breast cancer research a priority; so too can we turn daily reading aloud for 15 minutes from a recommendation into a parenting “must.”
Most of us pause or repeat a sound or word when we speak. When this happens a lot, the person may stutter. Young children may stutter for a little while. This is normal and will go away over time. Signs that stuttering might not stop include:
We use our voice to make sounds. Our voice can change when we use it the wrong way. We can lose our voice when we are sick or after talking or yelling a lot. Signs that your child may have a voice disorder include:
Language is made up of the words we use to share ideas and get what we want. Language includes speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. A child with a language disorder may have trouble with one or more of these skills.
